Defender

Page 1 > Page 2 > Page 3

A warship built in Lowestoft, back in the days when there was a shipbuilding industry here, for the Sultan of Oman. When the Sultan didn't need it any more he gave it back to Lowestoft as a display ship. The Lowestoft bods changed it's name - probably so we could say it!

It isn't officially open to the public at the time of writing, but will be soon, I guess.

Me playing on the iron beams while we wait for our guide.

The Defender, (right), next to a similar boat that's just a shell with nothing inside it..

Radioactive disk on the bow decks.
(Actually just the flash from my camera, but it looks good).

Nice compass, err which way's north on it?

Electrical controls & a cardboard box. Hey, I wonder what that torch is for?

Two of the warship's actual guns, that may have actually shot people dead - ooer!

Crews quarters, pretty boring I thought. (Especially the picture!)

Kitchen sink is almost home from home.
